How Well Do You Know Mike Wheeler? Quiz

Answer: True

Yes, he did actually say this, which proves that he was lying in his season 4 monologue to El when he said "I knew right then and there in that moment that I loved you."

Answer: pushed him to the floor

He was defending Will here, but just before he pushes Troy, the camera zooms in on Mike, which shows that he also took these words personally.

Answer: Paladin

A Paladin is a holy knight who fights for good and order. Will is a Cleric, Lucas is a Ranger, and Dustin is a Dwarf Bard.

Answer: Peter Venkman

In "Ghostbusters" (1984), Venkman's love interest, Dana, gets possessed and has a monster in her fridge. Guess who else got possessed and had a demodog in his fridge? Will Byers. Venkman also had to sedate Dana when she got possessed to keep her calm, and it was Mike's idea to sedate Will as well.

Answer: In Will's bedroom

Actually, in front of Will's closet. And the light is on - in the closet. After the kiss, Mike has a look of confusion and realization.

Answer: Will

He says this in Will's bedroom in season 4 episode 4, where he also tells Will that Hawkins is not the same without him and that it'll be easier if they're a team. Basically, he makes a whole speech to Will about how they should be best friends again.

They maturely talk and make up after their fight. This is a stark contrast to his scene with El in the previous episode: with Will he was honest and took responsibility, but with El he deflected and talked about her bullies when El just wanted him to say he loves her.

Answer: 4

He says this to Lucas in the first episode of season 4, when Lucas tried to get him and Dustin to come to his basketball championship game. And the next day, Mike shows up at the airport in Lenora, looking "normal" and "popular" - the complete opposite of the D&D nerd we all know he is.

Answer: sulking

Lol. So first, Mike pretends to ignore Will and then he tells Will that he ruined the day by not paying attention to him. So El getting horribly bullied by Angela didn't sabotage the day - Will did. Hm.

Answer: True

When he thinks Will is dead in season 1, we see him fondly looking at Will's drawings, and the binder is on his lap. The drawings are visible on the wall in several episodes.

Answer: Awesome? You haven't even spoken a word to her.

To which Dustin replies: "I don't have to. I mean, look at her."
And Mike pulls a face as if he doesn't see what Dustin is talking about. Once again, Mike's general dislike of girls is evident. We see a similar expression in season 3 when Dustin says that his new girlfriend Suzie looks like "Phoebe Cates, only hotter."

Answer: True

This can be seen in the first episode of season 4. Being in the closet means keeping your sexual orientation hidden from others. There is a lot of closet imagery for Mike in the show, but it doesn't get more obvious than this. Also, in season 5, we see Mike's father getting thrown into Mike's closet by the Demogorgon, completely destroying it.

There is no way that was not an intentional hint.

Answer: sorcerer

In this scene, Mike shows his belief in Will. As they're walking on the field, Joyce says: "Sometimes people need someone to believe in them, and then they can do amazing things." She's talking about Derek here, but as soon as she says that, Mike and Will look at each other, and then we see their conversation.

Answer: Holly the Heroic

He first shows her his own D&D character, Mike the Brave, before giving her Holly the Heroic - a Cleric with divine powers who can cast protection spells and a dimension door (a way of teleportation). He tells her not to be scared and that Holly the Heroic will keep her safe.

Answer: False

It's actually Dustin who thinks that. In season 1, after Mike and Lucas get into an argument over El, Dustin says that Lucas is jealous of Mike paying more attention to this new girl, since Lucas is Mike's best friend ("He's your best friend, right?"). Mike says he is, but so are Dustin and Will.

Dustin: "You can't have more than one best friend."
Mike: "Says who?"
Dustin: "Says logic."
Mike: "Well, I call bull on your logic, because you're my best friend too."

It's pretty interesting that Dustin assumed that Lucas is Mike's best friend, and that they establish from the beginning that Mike considers all three of them to be his best friends. Then, as the show progressed, they went out of their way to show us that Mike and Will's relationship is different and special. It's almost as if the plan was for them to go from best friends to more than that.

Answer: From Mike

Mike has never said he loves El to her face or when she's conscious, and he can't even write it. The first time he said it was, in his own words, "just heat of the moment stuff" - which means saying something you don't really mean. And the last time he said it was because Will pressured him into it so he could save her, which meant he had to lie.

Overall, Mike was kind of a douchy boyfriend, and there is a simple explanation for that. If he can't bring himself to say he loves El, it's because he isn't in love with her. It's important to note that he does love her though - as a friend.
